We have made a minor amendment to a date in our guidance for campaigners at the referendum on independence for Scotland in 2014. The date of Royal Assent of the legislation was 18 December 2013 and not 17 December 2013 as we previously stated.

This means that campaigners who need to report and record certain donations and loans to us (such as accounting for pre-poll donations and loans) need to report from 18 December and not 17 December.

We have updated the following guidance to take account of the change of date:

Overview of donations for referendum campaigners

Overview of loans for referendum campaigners

Overview of referendum campaigning

Designation process

Pre-poll reporting for referendum campaigners

Referendum on independence for Scotland 2014

Forms RIS2, RIS3B and RIS-PPR.
